Bryan Edwards Might Be The Sleepiest Sleeper For Fantasy 2021

Bryan Edwards Might Be The Sleepiest Sleeper For Fantasy 2021

WHO?! If you don’t know who Bryan Edwards is, I don’t blame you in the slightest. In all honesty, this could be a solid candidate for the ‘Who The Fuck Is That Guy segment on the Ballz Deep Fantasy show. But being the dedicated and miserable Raiders fan that I am, I do know this name. I’m trying to take the King Karl Heiser approach here and find a sleeper that will explode here. A couple of weeks ago, he predicted the Marquez Callaway explosion like the wizard he is. I’m trying to do that while also being as biased as I can be.

Bryan Edwards was also a rookie WR last year along with Henry Ruggs III. Bryan Edwards was a 3rd round pick and Henry Ruggs was a 1st round pick. But, what’s wild is that I like Bryan Edwards so much more than Henry Ruggs III for fantasy. While I defended the Henry Ruggs III pick (I told you, I am a dedicated guy) as a scheme fit, for fantasy that means literally nothing. Henry Ruggs’s job is to open up the field by being a deep threat with his speed. With his job, it’s very rare that the Raiders will throw to him in Jon Gruden’s West Coast offense. As an every-down receiver, Bryan Edwards’s potential is way higher than Ruggs. By height, Edwards is the biggest WR on the team, he does have an average 40-time. But, with his size, he should be the go-to WR in the RedZone. He will get plenty of looks and TDs for the Raiders. Just for that alone, his potential is immense.

Bryan Edwards Being Compared To T.O. By Head Coach Jon Gruden

I did rank him 3rd on the best WRs for fantasy on the Raiders. That was just a safety net, I do think he could emerge as the leading WR for the Raiders, at least in terms of fantasy. A part of this post wanted me to just be biased. Everyone at Vendetta hates when I talk about the Raiders, so I never get to express myself. I do think Bryan Edwards does have a chance though. He could be a solid sleeper and a guy you can take a flier on late in the draft or for $1 in auction leagues. I’m just saying not to count out my man Bryan Edwards and he might make you look like a genius, or just make me look very dumb.
